Cass County Commission approves WIC contract, engineering work order and access to state vital records
Summary
The Cass County Commission on July 15 approved four resolutions including the annual WIC contract (about $261,000), a work order with Great River Engineering and a memorandum allowing county staff access to Missouri vital records; all recorded votes were 2–0.
The Cass County Commission on July 15 approved a package of routine resolutions, including renewal of the county’s WIC contract, a work order for engineering services and an agreement to allow county staff access to state vital records.
The meeting’s presiding officer moved and the motions were seconded; each resolution passed on recorded 2–0 votes with one commissioner absent. The commission recorded approvals for Resolution 26‑66 (WIC contract), Resolution 26‑67 (work order No. 5398 with Great River Engineering), Resolution 26‑68 (memorandum of understanding to access the state vital records system) and Resolution 26‑69 (award of publication for tax‑sale notices).
County staff described Resolution 26‑66 as the county’s annual WIC (Women, Infants and Children) contract with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. A staff report said the agreement is renewed annually and totals roughly $261,000; most funding covers employee salary and fringe benefits and a smaller portion covers rent and overhead costs.
On Resolution 26‑67, staff described the work order with Great River Engineering as engineering and inspection services tied to port work and steel placement; the commission approved the work order to authorize those services.
Regarding Resolution 26‑68, staff explained the memorandum of understanding would let county personnel query the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services’ vital records database to continue offering in‑county printing of birth and death certificates. Staff said certificate fees are set by the state and estimated the program generates about $90,000 in annual revenue for the county.
Resolution 26‑69 concerned the required public notices for tax‑sale publication. The county collector reported one bid had been received from the county’s paper of record and recommended awarding the publication; the commission approved the award.
The measures were presented as routine administrative actions and passed by the two commissioners present. The commission’s minutes will record the formal outcomes and place the documents in the official record.
